Not Luke

When I have important things to do, I can usually make a mundane task the absolute centre of my universe.

In unrelated news, I just deleted more than 700 emails dating back to 2005.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

Yeah, they big fuckin.

just as a tiny reminder, you can dislike something without phrasing things in a way that’s condescending and hurtful to people who do like that thing. subtly shaming people for liking something you don’t isn’t the move and isn’t the way to build yourself up

Good lord. I've just found out that @rebeccaritters.bsky.social, who played Hannah Martin on Neighbours in the 90s, is now a journalist and reporter for @news.dw.com

Two huge TV careers from one person, goodonya!

Westminster journos reporting from the by-election where reform came second

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

FFS. I just found out about the latest series of Only Connect and that it started back in JULY.

I've got some serious catching up to do.

Apparently I'm abnormal because I have such little dexterity in my toes. I can't make a good fist with them and can't spread them at all.

I'm developing a complex about it

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Introverts aren’t shy, they just have high social standards. They love deep talks that actually mean something, not small talk about the weather. That kind of stuff wears them out fast. They’ll find one or two people who get them, share the parts they usually keep hidden, and that’s all they need

H finally gets to reclaim his name. Good for him.

Shout out to @beverleyknight.bsky.social for keeping her ticket prices at a reasonable level for her fans. I've booked in to see her in Nottingham next June. Including fees, two tickets cost less than £80. It'll be my first time seeing her live, can't wait.

Let’s talk about AI art.

My biggest regret might be that about 12 years ago I had the chance to meet the goddess that is @charlottechurch.bsky.social and I turned it down because I said I had to finish writing the newsletter for my website.

What a colossal dumbass I was.

Hate the new belt.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

Katie Hopkins has let herself go

My first real job was at Woolworths in Leicester restacking shelves after the store had closed and then also working the till on weekends. I had to leave college, get a bus home, change then get the bus back to start my shift. I lasted about a month before quitting.

Lasted longer than the French PM

I've never seen it. I've no reason to have not seen it, I just haven't.

I've completed all three sessions of The Newsreader and it might be my favourite TV show since Derry Girls. It's fantastic and you should watch it.

Use the interrobang.

In memoriam...

At 13:54 today, I turned my central heating on.
